Final two drivers confirmed by Sumo Power GT

The Sumo Power GT team has this week appointed a second pair of drivers
for its 2010 FIA GT1 World Championship campaign: Warren Hughes and Jamie
Campbell-Walter. They will join Michael Krumm and Peter Dumbreck, who
were confirmed in February, in the second of the team's two Nissan
GT-Rs - car number 22.

Warren Hughes has spent the past nine seasons in either GT or Touring
cars and has contested the legendary Le Mans 24-hours six times, winning
the LMP2 Class and breaking the lap record in the process. He is
therefore delighted to be joining Sumo Power GT for a full World
Championship campaign:

"When I first heard about the FIA GT1 World Championship and the
venues it visits I immediately wanted to be involved", said Hughes.
"Once I had been invited to test with the Sumo Power GT team I was
really hoping that I would be offered a seat, so to finally secure a
drive is a fantastic opportunity."

Jamie Campbell-Walter is another driver to have raced at Le Mans, his
five visits to the French classic backed-up with campaigns in the Le
Mans, FIA and British GT Championships over the past 13 years. On hearing
the news that he was confirmed as one of the team's four drivers he
said:

"I'm over the moon to be get the drive with Sumo Power GT
this season and it's great to be involved with a new championship
and a new team right from the start. I'm looking forward to being
back in a GT Championship, especially one which visits so many good
circuits in so many different countries."

Both Hughes and Campbell-Walter drove one of the team's Nissan GTRs
in a test at Snetterton this week and were impressed, each driver
reporting on the excellent delivery of power from the engine and agreeing
that the car has great potential.

Commenting on this latest appointment of drivers, Team Manager Allen
Orchard said: "We have been making such good progress with the
performance of the cars we felt we needed to have a strong pairing of
drivers in our second GT-R. We therefore opted for Warren and Jamie,
instead of two drivers who are there because of the budget they bring
with them. I'm delighted that we now have one of the best driver
line-ups on the grid."

The team is scheduled to test its two Nissans next week at Silverstone.
It will then begin preparations for the cars' departure to Abu
Dhabi for the first race of the season, which takes place on 17th April.
